Description
This heart-shaped slate plaque carries a robin in a soft watercolour style, perched on a slim branch with his orange-red breast and brown wings set against a clean white face. Little splashes of pink, red and blue dot the background, so the bird looks as though he has only just been painted. The heart is 15cm tall, 15cm across and 0.5cm deep, a neat size for a small stretch of wall. Its edges are left rough and uneven, which gives the slate a natural, rugged outline around the smooth printed robin. A looped cord threads through two holes at the top, and a small pale tag printed with the words BE CURIOUS hangs from one side of it.
It hangs from a single hook, picture pin or door knob, so it sits happily on a kitchen wall, in a hallway, beside the back door or by the window where you watch the birds come to feed. If you love the robins that visit your garden, this is a cheerful way to bring one indoors all year round, and the BE CURIOUS tag adds a gentle nudge to look a little closer at the world outside. It suits a cottage-style kitchen, a sunny conservatory or a bedroom, either on its own or hung beside a favourite print.
The robin is printed onto a white finish on the front, and the back is white, with the cord knotted neatly behind each hole. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and let it dry, avoiding harsh cleaners or scrubbing on the printed face. We would hang it indoors, away from steamy spots. As a present it needs nothing more than a little tissue, and it is ready to hang the moment the paper comes off.
